August 2012 Small

This month's small was selected by Linda Crowe. Linda has beautiful taste and always stitches the best stuff. This is no exception. The piece is called Sunflower and Acorns and the designer is Beehive Needleworks. Just lovely isn't it???

If you would like to order a kit from Inspired Needle it will include the Sunflowers and Acorns pattern, plus DMC & Gentle Art thread, plus fabric.

There are three separate kits.

#1 Kit has 36 count Edinborough linen in Natural, chart and threads.

#2 Kit has 32 count Belfast linen in Natural, chart and threads.

#3 kit has 14 count Aida/Linen blend in Natural, chart and threads.

Each of the kits is $24.00.

Please note: The pattern was charted for all DMC but Linda substituted the two flower colors with Gentle Art Sampler threads to give some nice color variation.

What a cute design! Can we find out which two GA threads were used in Linda's model? They look great. I'd like to order only the chart and the GA threads. I have enough linen and DMC to open my own store.

Why Smalls?

Like me, I am sure that you have two tons of samplers to stitch. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to have so many big projects to work on.

I was daydreaming about having a basket of pin cushions and ornaments one day. Then, being the nerd that I am, I declared that 2012 would be the Year of Smalls!

Then I took it a step further. Wouldn't it be fun to get us all whipped up into a frenzy of smalls???

So, here is the scoop, every month on the 15th I will announce a new small that we can all ooh and ahh over and stitch together!!!

I conspired with my LNS owner, Cathy, of Inspired Needle and she has kindly agreed to have the charts available at her store and she is even going to kit them up!! So, you can either order just the chart or the whole kit and kaboodle from Inspired Needle in Lemont, Illinois.

Needless to say I am just thrilled and I hope that the year of smalls will catch on and become just as exciting for you too!
